A Case for Recognizing Unenumerated Powers of Congress

INTRODUCTION Nocturnal, multi-colored, and only about three inches long, the arroyo toad lives only in sandy streambeds of coastal southern Califor- nia.1 Threatened by pollution and development, the toad is protected by a federal statute, the Endangered Species Act.2 Is such protection by Congress properly characterized as the “regulation of interstate commerce”?3 Meanwhile, a federal civil rights act prohibits a coffee shop from discriminating on the basis of gender, race, or religion in its hiring practices.4 Federal statutes both provide a mandatory prison sentence for possessing with intent to distribute a small amount of crack cocaine5 and override states from legalizing marijuana for medi- * Associate Professor, Stetson University College of Law, Tampa Bay, Florida.

Crossroads Film and Television Program List
Crossroads Film and Television Program List This resource list will help expand your programmatic options for the Crossroads exhibition. Work with your local library, schools, and daycare centers to introduce age-appropriate books that focus on themes featured in the exhibition. Help libraries and bookstores to host book clubs, discussion programs or other learning opportunities, or develop a display with books on the subject. This list is not exhaustive or even all encompassing – it will simply get you started. Rural themes appeared in feature-length films from the beginning of silent movies. The subject matter appealed to audiences, many of whom had relatives or direct experience with life in rural America. Historian Hal Barron explores rural melodrama in “Rural America on the Silent Screen,” Agricultural History 80 (Fall 2006), pp. 383-410. Over the decades, film and television series dramatized, romanticized, sensationalized, and even trivialized rural life, landscapes and experiences. Audiences remained loyal, tuning in to series syndicated on non-network channels. Rural themes still appear in films and series, and treatments of the subject matter range from realistic to sensational. FEATURE LENGTH FILMS The following films are listed alphabetically and by Crossroads exhibit theme. Each film can be a basis for discussions of topics relevant to your state or community. Selected films are those that critics found compelling and that remain accessible. Identity Bridges of Madison County (1995) In rural Iowa in 1965, Italian war-bride Francesca Johnson begins to question her future when National Geographic photographer Robert Kincaid pulls into her farm while her husband and children are away at the state fair, asking for directions to Roseman Bridge. -

Art 8 Vol III Is 2
Qualitative Sociology Review Volume III, Issue 2 – August 2007 Wendy Leo Moore Texas A&M University, USA Jennifer Pierce University of Minnesota, USA Still Killing Mockingbirds: Narratives of Race and Innocence in Hollywood’s Depiction of the White Messiah Lawyer Abstract Through a narrative analysis of movies confronting issues of race and racism in the post-civil rights era, we suggest that the movie To Kill a Mockingbird ushered in a new genre for movies about race which presented an image of a white male hero, or perhaps savior, for the black community. We suggest that this genre outlasted the era of the Civil Rights Movement and continues to impact popular cultural discourses about race in post-civil rights America. Post-civil rights films share the central elements of the anti-racist white male hero genre, but they also provide a plot twist that simultaneously highlights the racial innocence of the central characters and reinforces the ideology of liberal individualism. Reading these films within their broader historical context, we show how the innocence of these characters reflects not only the recent neo-conservative emphasis on “color blindness,” but presents a cinematic analogue to the anti-affirmative action narrative of the innocent white victim. Keywords Race; Racism; Film; Popular culture; Whiteness The film, To Kill a Mockingbird , based on Harper Lee’s eponymous book, was produced in the early 1960s, in the midst of the civil rights movement. Its narrative focuses on the valiant efforts of a small town lawyer, Atticus Finch, who defends Tom Robinson, a black man wrongfully accused of rape, against the racism of the Jim Crow South. -
WHAT I LEARNED at the MOVIES ABOUT LEGAL ETHICS and PROFESSIONALISM by Anita Modak-Truran
WHAT I LEARNED AT THE MOVIES ABOUT LEGAL ETHICS AND PROFESSIONALISM By Anita Modak-Truran HOW I GOT HERE I’ve been fortunate. I practice law. I make movies. I write about both. I took up my pen and started writing a film column for The Clarion-Ledger, a Gannett-owned newspaper, back in the late 90s, when I moved from Chicago, Illinois, to Jackson, Mississippi. (It was like a Johnny Cash song… “Yeah, I’m going to Jackson. Look out Jackson Town….”) I then turned my pen to writing for The Jackson Free Press, an indie weekly newspaper, which provided me opportunities to write about indie films and interesting people. I threw down the pen, as well as stopped my public radio movie reviews and the television segment I had for an ABC affiliate, when I moved three years ago from Jackson to Nashville to head Butler Snow’s Entertainment and Media Industry Group. During my journey weaving law and film together in a non-linear direction with no particular destination, I lived in the state where a young lawyer in the 1980s worked 60 to 70 hours a week at a small town law practice, squeezing in time before going to the office and during courtroom recesses to work on his first novel. John Grisham writes that he would not have written his first book if he had not been a lawyer. “I never dreamed of being a writer. I wrote only after witnessing a trial.” See http://www.jgrisham.com/bio/ (last accessed January 24, 2016). My law partners at Butler Snow have stories about the old days when Mr. -
Let Justice Roll Down: the Civil Rights Movement Through Film (1954-1965)
Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1998 Volume I: The Use and Abuse of History in Film and Video Let Justice Roll Down: The Civil Rights Movement Through Film (1954-1965) Curriculum Unit 98.01.06 by Joan Rapczynski The curriculum unit I have chosen will be incorporated into the United States History II course that is required of all eleventh graders in the city of New Haven. The unit will focus on the Civil Rights Movement during the years 1954-1965. In my past years of teaching American History, one of my goals was to make history come alive and be exciting for my students. I used a variety of techniques in the classroom recognizing the fact that students learn in a multitude of ways. One method I have found to be extremely successful is the use of visual materials. Films can bring a lesson to life. They can play a vital role in stirring up social issues of the past. Hollywood, as well as independent film companies have created many films that address the issues of the civil rights movement. In viewing a film students can acquire an incredible amount of comprehensive knowledge on a topic. Film visually recreates the time period for students. They are able to see physical gestures, cadences of speech, style of dress, style of architecture, as well as experience the environment. After viewing and discussing the film, students are usually amazed at the amount of factual knowledge they acquired while they were being entertained. I have found it to be an unusual instance when a classroom lecture can have the same impact as a powerful film. -
Video Catalogue Eric Roberts October 28, 2004
Video Catalogue Eric Roberts October 28, 2004 AN ACT OF CONSCIENCE, Robbie Leppzer,1997, 1:30. This film follows the history of Randy Kehler and Betsy Corner,two tax resisters from Colrain, Massachusetts. After years of refusing to pay war taxes, the Federal Government seized their home and sold it to pay the arrears. The film chronicles the campaign of nonviolent resistance to save their home but also explores the class and political conflicts that arise between the resisters and the family that buys the home. THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA: QUEEN OF THE DESERT, Stephen Elliot, 1994, 1:42. The story line of the film involves a group of three drag performers from the Sydneygay nighclubs who drive their lavender bus, Priscilla, across the desert to perform in Alice Springs. The fun comes from the energy that the trio and supporting cast bring to the adventure, which ends up being a wonderfully funnyand life-affirming tale. AGAINST THE CURRENT,Dmitri Delov, The Glasnost Film Festival, 1988, 0:27. ‘‘This is a film about ecological crime. Despite being labeled extremists, the residents of Kirishi protest a major syn- thetic protein plant. ‘Wecouldn’tbreathe, we coughed, we buried our children . .. but we couldn’tput up with it anymore,’ayoung woman shouts indignantly at a rally.’’[from the film notes] ALICE’S RESTAURANT,Arthur Penn, 1969, 1:51. At one level, this is the story told by Arlo Guthrie’ssong, with the half-a-ton of garbage, the twenty-seven8x10 col- ored glossy photographs, and the draft induction center where you get injected, inspected, detected, infected, neglected, and selected. -
Review Essay
Review Essay "The Long Walk Home" to Politics Jonathan Simon Gerald N. Rosenberg, The Hollow Hope: Can Courts Bring About Social Change? Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1991. xii+425 pages. $29.95. W the Supreme Court now in the hands of seven sol- idly conservative justices, liberals face a long walk home to the political activism which they participated in during the 1950s and 1960s. Along the way they may find Gerald Rosenberg's The Hollow Hope a sobering review of the last generation during which litigation rather than activism became the major channel for pursuing liberal goals. In lengthy case studies of school desegregation and abor- tion, and shorter studies of gender discrimination, criminal procedure, reapportionment, and environmental protection, Rosenberg sifts the empirical record for evidence that judicial victories have achieved real gains for the social movements that pursued them. Rosenberg's hard-nosed review of the data (supplemented by the creation of some original measures) is animated by a desire to challenge what he views as the perni- cious myth that the Warren and early Burger Courts were the great engine of political transformation from the 1950s to the 1970s. In most instances he finds little for advocates of litiga- tion to cheer about: court decisions sometimes do achieve ef- fects but mainly when other political and social forces are al- ready moving in that direction. Belief in the effectiveness of litigation has shaped the dis- cussion of courts and social policy on both sides of the political spectrum and biased our perception of the underlying political process. -
